Manchester United won 2-1 at Fulham with an added time goal from the 18-year-old substitute Alejandro Garnacho

Mr Molan said it 'takes a nation to defend a nation” and has suggested introducing a defence levy. “Hard for a Liberal to say because one of our creeds is a being a low taxing government – except in times of national emergency, which I think we’re in now,” he added.
